Chapter 23: Betting

"Gu Jingchen, don't worry about my business, that's my friend, I have the right to make friends." When Qi Ran said this, was it? The head was lowered, and the voice was faint and obviously lacking confidence. But it was such a tone that made him even more displeased.

Gu Jingchen's face was pale, and his eyes stared at Qi Ran's raised chin, eager to burn her out of a hole with his eyes.

This little girl's courage is getting bigger and bigger. Was it because she felt she had someone to lean on?

"If you dare to argue with me again, Cheng Wenxin will appear in your part-time bookstore tomorrow!" Gu Jingchen swaggered past her, a pair of long legs. Every step taken carries a momentum that cannot be ignored.

Qi Ran's fists clenched together angrily because he was threatened. Gu Jingchen, why are you meddling, don't you hate being nosy?

Gu Jingchen rode his Giant bicycle today, and Qi Ran originally planned to take the bus by himself, but he was asked to sit in the back seat. It has been four years since she entered the Gu family at the age of 12, and this is the first time she has been so close to Gu Jingchen, sitting behind her, close to his back. She could clearly smell the distinctive, cool smell of him.

It wasn't until much later that Qi Ran knew that this unique taste was due to the refreshing ingredients in the medicine he had been taking for a long time.

Qi Ran's part-time job is a private bookstore, and he is not usually very busy. This job was found with Su Zhan's help, and it was a very easy job.

The next time I saw Su Zhan was in the store. He placed a cup of iced milk tea at the front desk. I asked meaningfully, "I came here to work part-time in a CK shirt." Is it that your family really treats you badly. ”

Gu Jingchen also asked questions of the same nature.

It's just that what he said is whether the Gu family has treated her badly.

"Wenxin's mother is very good to me, you don't have to worry, it's just that I want to rely on myself more."

"Did Gu Jingchen scold you?"

"Nope."

"Then why can't I contact you these days, and you never contact me."

Qi Ran looked stunned, and it wasn't until she came home from work and saw that Su Zhan's name was added to the blacklist of her mobile phone that she understood that someone was making trouble.

Qi Ran held his mobile phone and knocked on Gu Jingchen's door angrily.

"Are you going to demolish the house?" Gu Jingchen opened the door and asked unhappily

"Why do you want to use my mobile phone privately, do you know that it's rude to mess with other people's things"

Gu Jingchen smiled contemptuously, "Your thing? Are you sure? Qi Ran, don't forget what kind of place this is, you are not qualified to ask me about Xingshi! After speaking, in front of Qi Ran, the door was slammed shut.

Qi Ran looked at the closed door in front of him, and his eyes were faintly hot.

Gu Jingchen, do you have to crush my self-esteem little by little?

As soon as Qi Ran returned to the room, he heard the sound of Gu Jingchen going out from the opposite side.

Gu Jingchen went to the bar where Su Zhan frequented the investigation.

The smoky bar smells hormones everywhere as night falls.

It wasn't the first time Gu Jingchen had appeared in this kind of place, but he was still frowning at the heavy smell of smoke that was beyond the normal tolerance here.

Su Zhan and his friends were drinking on the sofa in the corner.

A group of people who were originally very interested, when they saw Gu Jingchen who suddenly appeared, they all tacitly fell into silence.

In the dim light, you can still see what he is wearing, especially the limited edition Armani watch on his wrist. Their families are all good, but they are also shrewd people, and they can clearly tell that Gu Jingchen is different from their world.

"Who are you?"

A friend of Su Zhan spoke first, and he was the one who did the east today, so he automatically planned this sudden appearance as an uninvited guest.

"Su Zhan, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."

"It just so happens that I'm looking for you too."

Neither of them explained anything, Su Zhan just told his friend to leave, and then got up and left with Gu Jingchen.

"Don't go to Qi Ran again in the future."

Gu Jingchen said directly to the point, which surprised Su Zhan.

"What kind of funny thing do you say? Are you trying to interfere in my relationship with Qi Ran? ”

Su Zhan put his hands in his trouser pockets with a cynical expression. For him, Qi Ran is a friend, a relative when he was young, and a person he still wants to protect until now.

"I don't think you're qualified to meddle in the matter with Qi Ran. Even if your family adopted Qi Ran, there was no interference with her right to make friends privately. ”

"Su Zhan, why don't we make a bet? Bet on what you choose! ”

Su Zhan frowned, he didn't expect Gu Jingchen to make such a request. What to bet on?

"Well, we'll see you at this place this time tomorrow."

Qi Ran went home from part-time work the next day and didn't see Gu Jingchen, which was really surprising. However, what she didn't know was the agreement between Gu Jingchen and Su Zhan today.

Gu Jingchen, who has always had good self-control, is ridiculously betting with a person he doesn't care about today. The bet is now unaware.

Su Zhan has been living a life of eating, drinking and merrymaking outside since he returned to his biological parents' home. I spend all day drinking in the bar, so the way I choose to gamble is naturally to choose my favorite drink.

Gu Jingchen arrived at the bar on time the next day.

Su Zhan looked behind him, a little surprised, "You're alone?" It's not that Gu Jingchen didn't see a group of fox friends behind Su Zhan, but he didn't pay attention to them, and even when he looked at Su Zhan, he was full of disdain.

"Today, whoever of us drinks down first will lose, if I lose, I promise not to look for Xiao Ran again, if you lose, you are not allowed to interfere with our dealings."

Gu Jingchen's eyes signaled that he could start.

One of Su Zhan's brothers set up his wine glasses and poured twenty glasses in front of them at once.

When Shen Zhiyun appeared, Gu Jingchen had already put Su Zhan down.

Su Zhan was lying on the table, his eyes were red from drunkenness, and he smiled unwillingly when he looked at Gu Jingchen, whose body was also shaking slightly. "Gu Jingchen, Qi Ran is not happy······" After saying that, he fell asleep.

Gu Jingchen held his body strongly, turned around, and almost fainted.

Shen Zhiyun hurriedly threw a group of friends over to help him. "How did you get this?" Gu Jingchen was in his impression of a person with strong self-control, who would hardly let himself get drunk, but today he actually met Gu Jingchen gambling with others.

Gu Jingchen looked at it for a while before he realized that the ghost in front of him was his friend Shen Zhiyun, and he leaned on him with confidence, "Send me to the studio." ”

After saying this, I lost consciousness.

When Sister Hong went upstairs to inquire about Qi Ran's whereabouts of Gu Jingchen, Qi Ran learned that Gu Jingchen had not come back after leaving home in the evening, and he couldn't even get through on the phone.

"I'll go look in the studio."

Qi Ran went back to the room to change his clothes, took a flashlight and went out.

"Xiao Ran, be careful."

The studio was not far from home, so Qi Ran arrived soon.

I was about to knock on the door, but found that the door was just hidden.

"Gu Jingchen? Gu Jingchen? Are you there? ”

The lights in the studio were on, but no one was in sight.

"Qi Ran, Jing Chen is upstairs."

Qi Ran looked up and saw the person standing by the fence upstairs, she seemed to be a little impressed, but she couldn't remember the specific name, but she was sure that it was Gu Jingchen's friend.

Qi Ran went upstairs and saw the person in the room who had already fallen asleep on the bed, and looked at Shen Zhiyun puzzled, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"I drank too much, I just fed him an antidote, since you are here, take care of him here, I'll go back first."

Shen Zhiyun did not have a majority, but chose to hand over Gu Jingchen to Qi Ran.

Qi Ran was surprised because of the fact that Gu Jingchen would get drunk.

Qi Ran went to the bathroom to fetch water and carefully wiped his face.

Qi Ran has never taken care of anyone, so he can only rely on his limited common sense.

Gu Jingchen was asleep, without her usual indifference, and the eyes she was afraid of did not open and stare at him.

Qi Ran looked at his sleeping appearance, playful, and boldly reached out and pinched his white cheeks.

Gu Jingchen's skin was very smooth, which made Qi Ran a little indignant, "How can a boy's skin be so good?" ”
